Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
We originally accepted jurisdiction to review Goodman v. Temple Shir Ami, Inc., 712 So. 2d 775 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998), based upon conflict jurisdiction. After further consideration, we have determined that jurisdiction was improvidently granted. We also decline to address the remaining points raised on appeal as they are beyond the scope of the alleged conflict and do not form an independent basis of jurisdiction before this Court. Accordingly, this review proceeding is hereby dismissed.
It is so ordered.

Jane DOE I and Jane Doe II v. Malicki, 771 So. 2d 545 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000)…civil liability arises from decisions made in such an obviously sectarian context and upon such an obviously non-secular basis. In Goodman v. Temple Shir Ami, 712 So. 2d 775 (Fla. 3d DCA), review granted, 727 So. 2d 905 (Fla.1998), appeal dismissed, 737 So. 2d 1077 (Fla.1999), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 1075, 120 S.Ct. 789, 145 L.Ed.2d 666 (2000), this court itself recognized that whether a congregation has “good cause” to fire its rabbi is so infused with issues of the clergyman’s doctrinal acceptability that “or…
